>>In the shadow of a madman. -- Don't we see what we've done? 
>>The madman was right, and we didn't listen. God is dead, and 
>>we are his murderers. The effects are among us, only we don't 
>>realise what we're seeing. Like the light from a distant 
>>star, the effects hadn't had time to reach us yet. But now, 
>>over a century later, it is upon us.
>>Dead? God is dead? How can that be?
>>
>>Imagine that there were no planets, and you or I were 
>>floating in space, infinitely black and devoid of anything. 
>>As far as the eye can see stretches the stuff that rocks 
>>dream of. How would we know where we were, apart from beside 
>>each other? Where is God now? And if he is dead, then where are we?
>>
>>What is the point of a world where the most meaningful 
>>statement that exists is, 'I am what I am'? What is the point 
>>when what 'I am' can be anything, great or small, memorable 
>>or obsolete; after all, nobody asks a question when the 
>>answer doesn't matter. (The only other statement might be, 'I 
>>am not what you are', which only then leads to vanity or depression)
>>
>>It is a sad world for the living when, no matter how far you 
>>run, it all goes down to the grave. Somebody said that, as 
>>murderers of God, we make ourselves gods to feel worthy of 
>>the task. But strive all you want, for your arrogance won't 
>>keep you alive forever. But, on the other hand, philanthropy 
>>won't help you any more than the most selfish of hedonism. 
>>Even those whom you help will be swallowed up by the grave.
>>
>>When the world fails, the sun ceases to shine and the 
>>universe grinds itself into oblivion, what monuments to 
>>humanity will still remain standing?
>>
>>Perhaps we aren't divine murderers, but rather we are guilty 
>>of the most repulsive of suicides.
